An update for readers of this space (December 29/24)

 Since October 7/24, I have been absent from these pages...absent but not inactive. 

Instead of writing in this space, I have been engaged in a fictional project amost daily that has been progressing somewhat spontaneously, if a little turbulently.

I do hope to be able to return to the 'blog' in the near future....and I thank all of those who find whatever it is they need, seek or find here for their continuing presence.

In the last 30 days, google analytics tells me there have been some 16k page reads here and for that I am humbled and grateful.

With sincere thanks,

John

p.s. wishing everyone a 2025 that is not fraught with guns, bombs, missiles, drones, lies and nationalist supremacy!
